The Great Depresssion -President Hoover's handling of the Crisis

Herbert Hoover, a Republican President at the beginning of the Great Depression, was ineffective in his response because he could not hanlde what was happening at the time. He could not get families into better living arrangements.Farmers were so mad about the low crop prices that they would burn their crops and throw their milk on the highways. some refused to work others would block the roads so no food could get to stores. The farmers that lost their farms would use force to keep from forclosure. Hoover did not have very good principles. He refused to support direct relief or other forms of federal welfare. the last thing that kept Hoover from re-election  was what happened to the bonus army. The bonus army were all World War I veterans. they wanted their $500 bonus for serving. Hoover thought they were criminals and communists so he denied them the bonus and as well as gased the bonus army and their families with tear gas when they showed up at the capitol. A 11 month old baby died and an 8 year old boy was partially blinded.
